But we accidentally gave Audio Academy fellows Amber Miles and Marisol Medina Cadena the same Storycorps interview, between Marcelina Delgadillo and her longtime partner Peg Lum. It turned out to be an interesting lesson in how a radio producer can pull two completely different stories out of the same interview. Delgadillo and Lum talked about Marcelina's childhood with a Chicano activist father who campaigned with Cesar Chavez and Fred Ross — and about how meditation and martial arts inspired her journey to come out to herself, her husband and her adult son. Listen to the two different stories Marisol and Amber found within that conversation.StoryCorps: One conversation, two stories of life, family and politicshttp://kalw.org/post/storycorps-one-conversation-two-stories-life-family-and-politics

They lived an ocean away from each other, and didn’t know if they would ever even meet face-to-face. That’s because they first connected online, on a gay discussion group. “Someone was talking about long-term relationships, how there’s no such thing as long-term relationships,” Amos says. “Probably because we don’t see the role models out there.”Two men and a baby: Navigating parenting and partnership in a two-dad familyhttp://kalw.org/post/two-men-and-baby-navigating-parenting-and-partnership-two-dad-family

But here in San Francisco, drag shows happen most nights of the week. If you head out often enough, chances are you will encounter San Francisco drag icon Glamamore. Recently, KALW's Daniel Moore found Glamamore before a performance, and she told him just who Glamamore is. “Well, let’s see, Glamamore. Who is she? Sorta always been a dikey drag queen, even when I’m all gussied up: hair, nails, and everything. Glamamore is definitely a broad. " "If I'm going through the process of putting on hair, and makeup and all of these things, well, there is a moment just when I am finishing the end of my lipstick, where I'm like, 'Yup, there she is.'
